The document you're referring to, likely the Balfour Declaration or another related document concerning the establishment of Israel, is best aligned with the following option:

C. It confirmed that the United Kingdom supported a separate state for the Jewish population.

The Balfour Declaration specifically expressed the British government's support for the establishment of "a national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, which was a significant factor in the eventual creation of the State of Israel.
